Organizing

We believe in a Minnesota where everyone is free to live full, joyful lives. Together, we’re organizing a statewide, multiracial movement for justice and democracy, grounded in our core values:

  • Everyone has inherent value, no exception.
  • We love and support each other.
  • There’s enough for all.
  • We trust the wisdom of our lived experience.
  • We tell the truth and we heal together.

We recognize how the forces of racism, sexism, and corporate power stand in the way of justice and true democracy. As a member-led people’s organization, TakeAction Minnesota exists to change who decides and who benefits in our democracy and our economy. We build power to make more possible through grassroots organizing, winning campaigns, and changing the narrative. Get in touch with an organizer to learn more and start taking action:

Care Team

With a long-term vision around Universal Family Care, health care, and reproductive justice, the care team is on the front lines fighting for people-centered health care through storytelling, direct action, grassroots organizing and more. Contact LyLy Vang-Yang or Jo Hjelle to learn more.

Justice 4 All

We believe in safety and liberation for everyone, no exception. Comprised of grassroots leaders directly affected by our country’s broken criminal justice system built on white supremacy, Justice 4 All is organizing to replace mass incarceration with liberation. Justice 4 All has lead the fight to ban the box, restore the vote, and more. Contact Nelsie Yang to learn more.

Womxn of Color

At the intersection of healing, race, gender, and sexual identity, the Womxn of Color Table is a unique organizing space building community and power around a vision of political healing. Contact Jamila Mame to learn more.

Climate Justice

We are interconnected to each other and our environment. TakeAction Minnesota is proud to be part of the 100% Campaign for an equitable, clean-energy future. We believe climate justice is racial justice. “To change everything, we need everyone.” Reach out to Eric Holmberg to get involved.
